Dear Students,
This semester, Prof. Matsagar (馬誠) from the Graduate School of Biotechnology and Bioengineering is offering a brand-new course entitled Bioseparation Technology (Course Code: BI534).
Why you should consider this course:
🧪 Master the Engineering Behind Biopharmaceutical Purification:
Learn how life-saving biologics such as insulin, monoclonal antibodies, and vaccines are isolated and purified at industrial scale the backbone of modern biomanufacturing.
⚙️ Understand the Science of Separation Mechanisms:
Discover how molecular size, charge, hydrophobicity, and solubility determine the design of filtration, centrifugation, membrane systems, precipitation, and chromatography.
🏭 Explore Real Industrial Downstream Processing:
Examine how biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies design multistep purification workflows to achieve high purity, yield, and regulatory compliance.
🔬 Connect Theory to Practice:
Apply fundamental transport phenomena and separation principles to real bioproduct case studies, including protein purification and industrial-scale process design.
📊 Think Like a Process Engineer:
Analyze trade-offs between yield, purity, cost, scalability, and process efficiency critical skills in bioprocess development and manufacturing.
🧫 Discover Modern & Emerging Technologies:
Explore advanced techniques such as aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS), magnetic separation, continuous chromatography, and microfluidic bioseparations.
💼 Prepare for High-Demand Careers:
Build foundational skills for roles in biopharmaceutical production, process development, biotechnology R&D, and advanced laboratory research.
🚀 Develop Real-World Problem-Solving Skills:
By the end of the course, you will be able to design and evaluate downstream processing strategies for complex biological products a key competency in today’s rapidly growing biomanufacturing industry.
Grading:
❌ No traditional midterm or final exams
✅ Only report presentations
Your creativity and active participation matter far more than memorizing textbook pages.
